Being the amazing, true-to-life adventures and (very likely) misadventures of a writer who seeks to take his education, activism and seemingly boundless energy to North Minneapolis, (NoMi) to help with a process of turning a rapidly revitalizing neighborhood into something approaching Urban Utopia. I am here to be near my child. From 02/08 to 06/15 this blog pushed free speech to the envelope, so others could take heart and speak unafraid. Email me at hoffjohnw@gmail.com

Slight correction, babe, that beach in that photo was Nags Head beach, Outer Banks, N.C. Often seen on the Weather Channel with some low level reporter trying to stand up right in hurricane winds. LOL.

My memory that works really well sometimes is telling me that Richard Kedrowski is an elderly sick guy whose properties are now being managed by his son, or son in law... There was a lot of trouble with a house over in WH (26th and Upton?) and I think that was the owner's name. James Nelson (block leader, activist) would know. They went through the whole eviction process over there.
